1.4: What are Perl 4, Perl 5, or Perl 6?
(contributed by brian d foy)
In short, Perl 4 is the past, Perl 5 is the present, and Perl 6 is the
future.
The number after perl (i.e. the 5 after Perl 5) is the major release of
the perl interpreter as well as the version of the language. Each major
version has significant differences that earlier versions cannot
support.
The current major release of Perl is Perl 5, and was released in 1994.
It can run scripts from the previous major release, Perl 4 (March 1991),
but has significant differences. It introduced the concept of
references, complex data structures, and modules. The Perl 5 interpreter
was a complete re-write of the previous perl sources.
Perl 6 is the next major version of Perl, but it's still in development
in both its syntax and design. The work started in 2002 and is still
ongoing. Many of the most interesting features have shown up in the
latest versions of Perl 5, and some Perl 5 modules allow you to use some
Perl 6 syntax in your programs. You can learn more about Perl 6 a...

Install Perl 5.8.7 i386 for ImageMagick-perl-6.2.4-5.i386Hi.
I want to install ImageMagick-perl-6.2.4-5.i386.rpm which requires Perl
5.8.7.
I found perl-5.8.7-4.i586.rpm with size 12 MB, and tried.
It created /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi
directory, but it didn't work.
And I found perl-5.8.7-4.i386.rpm with size only 36K.
This perl-5.8.7-4.i386.rpm needs several other packages.
I installed all the dependent packages, but it won't create
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi
which is required by ImageMagick-perl-6.2.4-5.
Is there a BIG package called perl-5.8.7-?.i386.rpm ?
Thank you for your he...
